About our approach...

Denis is also trained in Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Rational Emotive Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Narrative Therapy, and also the newer approaches of Mindfulness Meditation, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
In the CBT approach, the starting point is often a person's thinking pattern. The behavior therapy aspect uses techniques that help people regain control over how they act and their reactions. Cognitive therapy focuses on changing thinking patterns, distorted expectatons, and unrealistic assumptions that govern or contribute to anxiety problems. We stress problem solving skills, behavior changes, and self-management. We believe people will learn about themselves best in an interactive, collaborative, and encouraging atmosphere. Treatment can often be short-term treatment and focused on current problems and adjustment. When it is needed, we offer longer term, intermittent, and supportive therapy.
